About this Cook
I live in Pittsburgh with my wonderful boyfriend and one extremely fat cat. Siince moving in with my boyfriend, and between work and school, I'm trying to learn to cook easy, but interesting and flavorful food for my boyfriend and I.
My favorite things to cook
Hands down, my favorite thing to cook is chili. I love chili and could eat it every single day. I love experimenting with different recipes and spice combinations. I always end up with something different but familiar and comforting. I also love taking recipes and trying to make them healthier while still tasting great.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I grew up in a family with very few cooking traditions, but I'm looking foward to having a family some day and starting new traditions. My stepmother does make the most fantastic sauce and meatballs and I'm always trying to get it to taste like her's, but have yet to succeed!

Stuffed Green Peppers I
These peppers turned out great! I would give it 5 starts, except I made some changes. I didn't boil the peppers beforehand; I just increased the time in the oven. Used 1/2 cup of onions. Cooked my rice in a rice cooker, mixed it with everything else and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors mix. I added cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, italian seasoning and extra Worcestershire sauce to the mixture. Also used a can of diced tomatos with green chiles in them for an extra kick. I followed other reviewers' advice and put sauce and cheese in the bottom of each pepper, added some of the mixture and then did another layer of sauce and cheese and then finished stuffing the pepper and topped with more cheese. I used tomato sauce instead of tomato soup (don't care for the soup flavor). Coated the bottom of the pan with a layer of tomato sauce to keep the bottoms of the peppers from burning. Served over white rice. Delicious; will definitely be making again!!

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds with Sugar and Spice
This turned out really well! I didn't have any pumpkin spice, so I just added a little bit of canned pumpkin, which worked out well.
